When a patient is receiving physical rehab care, properly assessing Bio Mechanics is essential. It is a science that focuses on the structure and movement of the human body and focuses on muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones.
Blood Flow Restriction
Blood Flow Restriction allows physical rehab patients to lift much lighter loads and still get the benefits of lifting heavy loads. This is done with the use of a restrictive cuff placed around a proximal limb and which limits the amount of blood flow.

We like to pair our passive treatments with active treatment to keep our patients functional and pain free in the long term.

When cupping is utilized correctly, the cups act on the layers of tissues and decompresses them, causing any points that are “stuck” to move freely again. This decompression of layers creates the potential for a global healing response.
Kinesio Taping
The functionality behind Kinesio Tape is that it microscopically lifts the skin, which can reduce discomfort and facilitate lymphatic drainage. The applications of this technique are almost endless, due to how the numerous application cases.
Dry Needling
Functional Dry Needling (FDN) is an extremely effective tool in treating restrictions in myofascial tissue as well as re-educating muscles that aren’t working properly. Functional Dry Needling is often a single component of a larger treatment plan.
